Hello Chaps,

I know it's been a while but i now have everything i need to crack with this build.

I've put quite a lot of hours into the conning tower over the past couple of days, this has mostly been scraping off the moulded in details and replacing them with the Eduard etch. The CMK periscope housing needed to be drilled out to accept their lovely turned 'Ally' periscope. Easy enough! hmm....the periscope is a couple of thou too big in diameter, so a simple drilling job turned out to be a pain in the arse

Not overly impressed with the fit of parts in this area. The parts do fit well but the mating surfaces are not the best and tend to give any joint line a gaping seam that needs to be polished out. I'll post pix when i've got things looking like i've actually done somthing, if you know what i mean?

Sav.
